What an outrageous machine - in a good way of course.

I imagine the tiny headlights are a deal breaker for some too biggrin

ooof. I really like that. The homage to the Vantage V8 in the front lights and the rear end is nicely done.

Is that a holster for a gun on the transmission tunnel??

What is the background story?

I think I can see where some of the design ideas came from (from and rear).

What a beast! That engine looks amazing, but I`m sure the bonnet shut line (or trench) will wind a couple of people up! hehe

Yes I see now, creased leather.
Warranty should sort that.

Pity about these minimum production cars having to be track only.
You could assemble this car in your own garage, take it to a test centre, then drive on the road.
Both are two seater cars. Do you think the Victor looks far safer for the occupants?

I believe it's suede, not leather. Hence the variable shine / reflection.

This must be the 1-77 R that was proposed then dropped and the Vulcan came instead.

Nice...

The wing mirror adjuster and window switches are from a Vanquish II... so all is not lost tongue out

Anyway...

It takes some time to take the design in; I think the front splitter and side sills are pretty lairy, but overall - hits the spot thumbup
